Hey all...
Apologize for the break in updates. As you've probably guessed, things have been pretty busy here. I just sat down and realized I've worked about 60 hours this past week (no overtime, btw), which is pretty fucked up. Anyway, suffice to say it's nice to have a day off to collect myself.
So.. what have I been up to besides work? Well.. ended up gutting the apartment on Good Friday, which was sorely needed. Then I headed to Richmond Hill on Saturday, as G and her sisters had invited me up there to spend Easter with them, which was incredible. It was cool to just hang with her and her fam and feel like I was home, albiet breifly. Thanks guys.
Last weekend I went out to Brandford for suppa with M & J, and then back into Hamiltonia for some booze with Brad and Trish and their friends. A pretty good evening at Selonties (salon-chays)... the band upstairs was busting out some celtic and newfie songs, so that was awesome. Didn't get too tangly... just had a few and kept it fairly mellow.
Took it easy last night, just watched hockey and passed out on the couch... i was friggin exhausted. Getting up at 6am and getting home at 7 or 8pm every day wears on you. B & T have got some more friends coming in tonight, so I think the plan is to tie one on. I'll be ready.
And I'm heading to Chicago on Monday for a couple days! I've got some company training going on down there, so I'm looking forward to seeing the city and meeting some of my counterparts from different plants around the states. Should be good times. I'll let you know how it all goes down. Lata.

We all got our runnins now
Well... what to say, what to say.
Since last i posted I saw the Leafs. That was pretty awesome... we won! Too bad they won't be making the playoffs. Props to B-rad for hooking me up with the ticket.
Headed up to Sudbury last weekend. Hofford had a hockey tournament up that way, and I basically came along for the ride and the party. Great times, tho my memories are sketchy. Sudbury kinda reminds me of home in a weird way. Must be all the woods, rocks and excess drinking.
I think I'm going to the Hill this weekend for Easter. That's pretty sweet. For a while there it was looking like Sunday dinner for one, but G invited me up for a meal with the fam. Awesome.
So things are good. Apartment's a god damn state. Problem is, I work a long day and come home and the last thing I want to do is cook and clean. Maybe I'll get some motivation on my day off Friday.
The new single from The Streets is a pretty good mellow tune. Chris Martin lends on vocals, tho trying to find that version on soulseek or limewire has proven to be a daunting task. My friends say dry your eyes, mate. Guess we all go our runnins.

Keggerloo & Raptors too
Yo...
Yet another good weekend. Seems like that's all I do these days: work like a dog during the week, and then party like it's going out of style on the weekends. It's all well and good, trouble is, by living this kind of lifestyle I essentially accomplish very little. For instance, my apartment looks like it was hit by some form of mild seismic activity. But whatever.... it's clean enough.
So yeah, the weekend. Gammon emails me during the week and informs me of a massive keg party happening out in Waterloo. Naturally, I was entrigued. Mike ended up wanting in on the deal, so the 2 of us hopped in the Jet and headed on out. It was a pretty frigging funny night..... the 3 of us got pretty obliterated. I capped it all off on the walk home at 3am with a massive accidental superman-style faceplant into a pile of mud. I was rotten. I'm pretty sure the boys laughed so hard at me that they peed a little.
Ended up heading back to Brantford to spend the afternoon and evening enjoying the non-stop movie hit parade that is TBS Superstation with Mike and Jaimes.
This afternoon I had full intentions of finally getting out and getting some errands and apartment related stuff accomplished, as it was my first non-hungover Sunday in over a month. However, it also just so happened that my torrent of season 1 of a show called "The Sheild" completed this morning. So, over breakfast, I decided I would watch the first episode to see what the hype was all about (as most of my school buddies appear to be hopelessly addicted to it). 6 hours and 7 episodes later, I was still in my boxers, hopelessly glued to my computer screen. This is a friggin amazing show! So much for the getting the errands done!
At 4:30 I had to tear myself away from it and get cleaned up.... cause I had a Raptor's game to go to! Headed on in to PWall's where we met Gammon, and the 3 of us headed on down to the ACC. It was a very entertaining game... double overtime baby! Unfortunately, the Raptors didn't win (but that's not too bad, because they're out of the playoffs, so the shittier they do, the better their draft pick will be next seasaon). There was also a big upside to things: If the Raps score over 100 points (which they did due to overtime), ticket holders get free pizza! Score! So we hit that up about an hour ago, and now here I am back in the Hammer safe and sound.
Anyway.... another great couple of days. Time for the cycle to begin again! I gotta say, work's good, but weekends are definitely far too short. Nite.
